UK Jewish Film/ Hitler Vs. Picasso and the Others

Directed by Claudio Poli

In their attempt to create a new Europe, Hitler and his fellow Nazis declared a war on what they deemed “degenerate” art. Under the Nazi regime, hundreds of thousands of condemned works of modern art, including masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse, Renoir and Chagall, were stolen from their owners, mostly Jewish art collectors, dealers and gallery owners. Introduced and narrated by Toni Servillo (The Great Beauty, Let Yourself Go!), Hitler vs. Picasso is a riveting exploration of the Nazi obsession with, and fear of, the power of art and creativity to shape minds.
